CENTCOM forms multinational one-way attack drone task force

U.S. Central Command is creating Task Force Falcon Strike, described as the first multinational task force dedicated to employing one-way attack drones across air, surface, and subsurface domains. While specific systems and partner nations are not disclosed, the organizational move signals a new operational model for integrating allied loitering munitions/USVs/UUVs to offset shortages of high-end standoff weapons and scale persistent strike capacity.
